Rooms occupied by young children should always have at least two exits.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Depends on room size
• D. Not required

Answer: (A)

Having at least two exits in rooms where young children are present ensures a safe, quick evacuation in an emergency. With two distinct paths to the outside, a blocked door or crowded doorway won’t trap everyone, and staff can guide children to safety along the separate routes. This redundancy reduces bottlenecks and provides flexibility if one exit is unusable. Safety standards for child care settings commonly require two exits to enhance protection for children and caregivers, regardless of room size. The other options—saying it’s not required or that size determines the need—don’t align with the goal of always being prepared for a safe escape.
